Sunny days

What can I say ... a change is as good as a holiday? Perhaps I've had too much sun already :s

100%

I was taught in school that 100% was the whole thing, that there was no more because 100% was everything. So why do we now have 110%? or even worse 200%!

I cannot give more than 100%

Someone better explain basic maths to these politicians, economists, sports people etc so when they talk percentages on TV they can at least get it right.

Grrrr.

Family Story

As my own has expanded I'm also looking back along the branches and up the trunk. It's quite fascinating working out where people went - from Devon and Somerset to Kent to London and then some moved back through Hampshire back to Devon whilst others came from Suffolk to London and the odd bod disappeared up to Lancashire... people didn't 'arf get 'round.

There's the "How many children!" factor my side has reached 14 whereas the other half has one with 19 kids (ouch!). And my favourite right now is the branches where I've found several Rev.s', some Admiralty clerks and I'm getting quite a collection of Baron's...

heh if I go far back enough I wonder if I can get royalty linked in there somewhere.
